Here's a small deficiency in decltype(auto). [dcl.type.auto.deduct]/5:
If the placeholder-type-specifier is of the form decltype(auto), [...]
the type deduced for T is determined [...] as though E had been the operand
of the decltype. So:
int &&i = 0;
decltype(auto) j = i; // should behave like int &&j = i; error
We deduce j's type in do_auto_deduction via finish_decltype_type which
takes an 'id' argument. Currently we compute 'id' as false, because
stripped_init is *i (a REFERENCE_REF_P). But it seems to me we should
rather set 'id' to true here, by looking through the REFERENCE_REF_P,
so that finish_decltype_type DTRT.

* pt.c (do_auto_deduction): If init is REFERENCE_REF_P, use its
first operand.
